I have been pulling off my hairs for more than one day.
I managed to set-up a static IP address in /etc/networks/interface.d/eth0 but Debian insists on setting also a dynamic address.
How can I tell the system that I am a big boy, i know what I am doing and I would really really prefer it does not try to hold my hand, because all it does is having me trip over.
I need to set-up a static IP and only that static IP, because that is the only IP that I can use to access internet. But with the dynamic IP, all connections are initiated using that dynamic IP and the firewall will not let the connection pass through.
As I am using the latest Debian image, it has no GUI, so all I have is command line, and I can't figure out what to do.
Thanks in advance,
Olivier
